~8 min read 1,464 words

Jiang Feng hung up the phone: "Miss Wang, sorry, the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence from the Su Family has arrived, I must hurry back to treat Miss Su, and please take extra care of Nan Gong Wan's matter."

Wang Yunan, although a bit reluctant, also knew that treating Cold Poison was a major matter, and quickly nodded.

"Don't worry, go ahead! Over in Tong Cheng I've already had my dad contact friends; as soon as there's news I'll tell you! By the way, after the treatment, if you have time, remember to come to the Wang Family for a meal; my grandfather still wants to thank you properly."

"Certainly."

Jiang Feng replied with a sound, turned around and flagged a taxi, heading straight for the Su Family Villa.

By the time Jiang Feng arrived at the Su Family, the servant had already been waiting at the door; as soon as he got out of the car, they quickly came to greet him.

"Mr. Jiang, you're finally back! The master and Divine Physician Sun have been waiting for you in the living room for half a day!"

Jiang Feng followed the servant into the living room and saw Su Ruiqing carefully holding a dark red wooden box, sitting in the middle of the sofa, while Sun Boyong sat on the single sofa beside him.

Su Xueyan stood beside Su Ruiqing, wearing a light purple housecoat, her hair simply tied at the back of her head.

Her face also held anticipation; when she saw Jiang Feng enter, her eyes instantly brightened: "Jiang Feng, you're back."

Jiang Feng's gaze fell on the wooden box in Su Ruiqing's hands: "Is the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence inside here?"

"Yes! Yes!"

Su Ruiqing quickly stood up, holding the wooden box with both hands and handing it to Jiang Feng.

"Yesterday I went to the Chamber of Commerce's secret vault with Old Wang, specifically had Divine Physician Sun look at it, confirming it's genuine Xuan Nuan Jade Essence; take a look quickly!"

Jiang Feng took the wooden box, opened it, and saw a layer of black velvet inside, on which lay a piece of jadeite about the size of a fist.

The jadeite was entirely warm white, its surface emitting a faint halo, and it felt gently warm to the touch.

"It's authentic," Jiang Feng said, feeling the jadeite and nodding.

"Moreover, the Spiritual Energy is very pure; it's perfect for treating Cold Poison."

Sun Boyong also leaned in, craning his neck to look for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Jiang, I saw this Xuan Nuan Jade Essence once many years ago; at that time the Chamber of Commerce invited several ancient‑text experts, all said the jadeite requires a special method to activate its Spiritual Energy. How do you intend to use it to treat Miss Xue Yan?"

He has been practicing medicine for decades and has seen many rare prescriptions; the rumors about the jadeite are known to him.

But it's the first time he's heard of someone claiming to cure illness with jadeite, and he's extremely curious.

Therefore, this time he proactively came to the Su Family, hoping to see if there's a chance to learn.

Jiang Feng didn't hide it: "We'll use a Formation Technique to guide the Spiritual Energy, directly nourishing her internal Meridians and driving the Cold Poison out. Divine Physician Sun, if you're interested, you can wait outside later, but the treatment process must not be disturbed."

Sun Boyong quickly nodded: "No disturbance! No disturbance! I'll wait outside, absolutely won't go in to cause trouble!"

This is a rare learning opportunity!

Su Ruiqing also quickly said: "Jiang Feng, if you need any help, just tell me!"

"No trouble needed." Jiang Feng placed the jadeite back into the box, looking at Su Xueyan.

"Xue Yan, come with me to the second‑floor bedroom."

Su Xueyan's cheeks flushed slightly, she nodded, and followed Jiang Feng up to the second floor.

The two went up to the second floor, to Su Xueyan's boudoir.

Jiang Feng placed the wooden box on the nightstand, and with a light laugh said to Su Xueyan: "Relax, in a moment I'll use silver needles together with the jadeite; it might get a bit hot, but don't be afraid."

Su Xueyan obediently sat on the bed, hands on her knees, watching Jiang Feng skillfully take the silver needles out of a cloth pouch.

Jiang Feng took out three silver needles, first inserting one each into Su Xueyan's wrist and the point between her eyebrows, then picked up the Xuan Nuan Jade Essence and placed it on her lower abdomen.

The jadeite touched her skin, and Su Xueyan couldn't help letting out a sigh: "So warm…"

Jiang Feng said nothing, his fingers gently pressing on the jadeite.

Muttering a few incantations under his breath, the halo on the jadeite's surface grew brighter.

A gentle heat flowed from Su Xueyan's lower abdomen into her body; the previously dull ache in her abdomen instantly became warmly comforting, making her close her eyes.

In the downstairs living room, Su Ruiqing and Sun Boyong remained silent, their ears perked up high, fearing they'd miss any sounds from upstairs.

…

On the other side, in the Zhao Family Villa, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Zhao Xiong sat on a leather sofa, and on the coffee table before him lay a hospital diagnosis report: left knee comminuted fracture, possibly lifelong disability.

This was Zhao Qiancheng's diagnosis; each word stabbed Zhao Xiong's heart like a needle.

Next to him stood Hall Master Black Tiger of the Black Gold Society, whose expression was equally displeased.

Earlier the Black Gold Society had dispatched assassins, and no news had returned yet.

Obviously, their plan had failed!

"Useless! A bunch of useless!"

Zhao Xiong violently threw the diagnosis report onto the ground, the sound roaring.

"Can the Black Gold Society not even handle a Mountain Wild Boy! My son's leg is broken, yet you haven't even harmed a single hair of his!"

If the Black Gold Society's Dragon Lord were here, Zhao Xiong certainly wouldn't dare act rashly.

But Black Tiger is only a minor Hall Master; in front of him, Zhao Xiong still held considerable face.

Black Tiger frowned, quickly said: "Zhao Family Head, that Jiang Feng is probably not simple; my brothers are not ordinary people, yet none of them have managed to come back."

"Stop making excuses to me!"

Zhao Xiong cut him off, his gaze so dark it seemed it could drip water.

"Right now the most important thing is to kill that Jiang Feng scum! If the Black Gold Society can't do it, I'll find someone else!"

Speaking thus, Zhao Xiong pulled a black encrypted phone from his pocket and pressed a number without a note.

The phone rang three times before being answered, and a hoarse male voice came from the other end, thick with an exotic accent.

"Mr. Zhao? What business do you have with us?"

"I want you to help me kill two people."

Zhao Xiong's voice was pressed low, his eyes full of ferocity.

"The targets are Jiang Feng and Su Xueyan at the Su Family Villa; no matter what methods you use, within three days I want to see their corpses!"

The other side was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "The difficulty of acting in Huaxia is really huge; you have to add money!"

"I want fifty million, and it must be paid in full!"

"Money isn't a problem!" Zhao Xiong said without hesitation.

"I'll transfer the fifty million to you right now; I have only one request. Make them die a bit more miserably!"

"Rest assured, our service has always satisfied our clients."

The other side hung up the phone after speaking.

Zhao Xiong put down his phone, picked up the wine glass on the table, drained the white wine Inside it in one gulp, and a hint of Cold Smile flashed in his eyes.

"Jiang Feng, Su Xueyan, you wait! This Time no one can save you!"

Black Tiger Standing beside, watching Zhao Xiong's demeanor, felt a little hair‑raising.

He knew what kind of people Zhao Xiong was looking for; those people were ruthless characters that even the International Criminal Police found a headache.

Even the Black Gold Society didn't want to clash with them.

It seems that This Time, the Zhao Family is truly getting furious.

And in the Bedroom on the second floor of the Su Family Villa, Jiang Feng was intently guiding the Spiritual Energy of the mysterious warm jade core.

Su Xueyan's body surface Gradually manifested a thin layer of white frost, which was quickly melted by the jade core's heat into water vapor; the Cold Poison inside her was being forced out bit by bit…
